Now in the Store: Priceline

Last month I listed some of the travel apps I use when I hit the road. Here’s one more worthy addition: the official Priceline Express Deals app, which arrived in the Store late last week.

The app makes it possible to find and book hotel rooms at steeply discounted rates—up to 45% off in some cases—and narrow down your options by location, star level, and amenity. One nice benefit of the app: Unlike the website, it doesn’t require time-consuming bidding because it’s already stocked with the choicest room deals identified by the Priceline team. Download it
